Certificate in Sound, Voice, and Music Healing

Schedule of Courses

Please note that students must complete the entire curriculum, which meets at predetermined times throughout the year, in order to receive the certificate of completion.

Should a participant miss one or two classes, he or she will have the option of either attending another class offered by CIIS Public Programs or completing a special project at an additional cost. Read policy for missed classes and out of town students below.

Policy for Missed Classes and Students from out of town
If a student misses a class, he/she must make it up by taking another class that is equivalent of the content in the missed class. The student may take a non-certificate class through C.I.I.S. Public Programs at a 15-25% discount. Or, the student may find a class elsewhere to fulfill the requirement. All make-up classes must be approved by Silvia Nakkach and the Director of Public Programs.

Students can accrue 20 hours for an individual project at an extra cost
